A Review of The Mercenaries

The Mercenaries by Bill Baldwin My rating: 1 of 5 stars I realize this book has a good rating online, but I can't finish it, can't even get very far in it. Some of the things that drove me nuts were the takeoff of this new, cutting edge warship captained by Wilf Brim, to go …
